WHERE WE HAVE BEEN AT 2017
DO YOU KNOW MIEDZYGORZE? NO? REGRET… THIS BEAUTIFUL SETTLEMENT LOST AMONGST SUDETEN FOREST CORNERS IS PARALYSING WITH ONE’S CHARM. MOSTLY UNTOUCHED BY THE ARCHITECTS OF THE POLISH CROOKED COMMUNISM ERA, IT MOVED US TO THE BEGINNING OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. GREAT PLACE FOR A FEW DAYS GETAWAY. (more…)
.
WE SUDDENLY HAD TO GO TO THE CENTRE OF KRAKOW. SUPPOSEDLY IT IS NOT A PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT IS GOOD TO KNOW WHAT THE POSSIBILITIES ARE, THEIR PROS AND CONS. (more…)
.
YESTERDAY IN THE LATE EVENING WE ARRIVED AT THE BIESA PALACE IN OLSZANICA FOR THE NIGHT. HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE MORNING WE WERE ABLE TO APPRECIATE THE PLACE, WHERE WE SPENT THE NIGHT. (more…)
.
WE MADE PLANS FOR THIS TRIP FOR MONTHS. THE INITIATOR WAS MY MOM, WHO A FEW YEARS AGO LEARNED ABOUT THE WONDERFUL DISCOVERY OF POLISH ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN THE SWIETOKRZYSKIE VOIVODESHIP. FOR A LONG TIME, WE WERE UNABLE TO COORDINATE THE DATE OF THE EXPEDITION TO SUIT ALL INTERESTED PARTIES. EITHER SOMEONE COULD NOT GO, ANOTHER TIME THE CAR REBELLED. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS THE ATTEMPT TO COMBINE A TRIP TO TRZCINICA – CARPATHIAN TROY WITH THE VISIT TO A DISTANT “FAMILY” IN THE BIESZCZADY MOUNTAINS. SUCH A VISIT COULD ADD BLUSHES FOR OUR OUTING, AROUSING MEMORIES. IT ISN’T HOWEVER EASILY TO COORDINATE THE TRIP TO THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS WITH THE CARE OF THE CAT, EVERYDAY DUTIES, AND THE VISIT TO THE PLACE THAT ONE SAW LAST IN 1983. ESPECIALLY, IF WE HAVE AMONGST SIGHTSEERS TWO AGEING LADIES. (more…)
.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE GATHERING CLOUDS HERALDED RAIN FOR OUR FAREWELL. (more…)
.
IN THE MORNING, HAVING A MOMENT OF TIME, WE POPPED OUT ON THE GDYNIA ORLOWO PIER. ORLOWO HAS CHANGED A LOT. IT BECAME PRETTIER, TOOK ON EUROPEAN CHARM. CLEAN, NEAT, PROSPEROUS. (more…)
.
IN THE MORNING WE RACED AGAIN WITH TIME. WE HAVE BOUGHT ONLINE ADMISSION TICKETS, ENTITLING US TO ENTER THE MUSEUM OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR BETWEEN 10 a.m. AND 1 p.m. TOURING SHOULD LAST ABOUT 4 HOURS. THEN WE WILL HAVE MEETING OUR FAMILY AND SHOW THEM AROUND THE CENTRE OF GDANSK. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT 2:30 p.m. (more…)
.
TICKETS TO THE WORLD WAR II MUSEUM WE BOUGHT ONLINE MUCH EARLIER. THE INFORMATION ON THE MUSEUM WEB PAGES VERY PRECISELY DEFINES THE RECOMMENDED VISIT TIME, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT DIFFERENT ENTRY HOURS. COST: STANDARD PLN 23, CONCESSIONS PLN 16. ON TUESDAYS, ONE WATCHES THE MAIN EXHIBITION FREE OF CHARGE. FREE TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE ONLY AT TICKET OFFICES !!! (more…)
.
IN THE MORNING WE QUICKLY RAN TO SKM, BECAUSE WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE FAMILY FOR BREAKFAST AT THE GRAND HOTEL BEACH. (more…)
.
AFTER HAVING EATEN A FAMILY BREAKFAST WE WENT TO GDYNIA TO SEE THE MUSEUM OF EMIGRATION. (more…)
.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 10 YEARS, WE WILL BE IN SOPOT. WE ARE GOING TO A SMALL FAMILY REUNION AND BY THE WAY, WE ARE GOING TO VISIT A FEW PLACES. (more…)
.
PIETRUSZKA AFTER THE NEXT DOSE OF MEDICINE FELT QUITE GOOD. WE WONDERED IF IT WAS A RAW FISH, OR SOME VIRUS HAD HARMED HIM. AT BREAKFAST WE WERE GIVEN AN EGG – PREPARATION METHOD OF YOUR CHOICE; BREAD, JUICE, TEA, ROLLS, BUTTER AND JAM. (more…)
.
I WOKE UP AROUND 6:30 am. TOO EARLY TO GET UP. DO NOT WAKING UP WOMBAT, I TURNED ON THE COMPUTER AND I STARTED BLOGGING A LITTLE BIT. AT 8:00 WE GOT UP, AND STARTED PREPARING FOR CHECK-IN. UNEXPECTEDLY, I FELT STRANGE. I JUMPED TO THE JOHN. THE STREAM OF SOMETHING LOOKING AS DILUTE SOUP SAILED OUT OF ME. EMPTYING I WANTED TO CONTINUE PACKING, BUT I STARTED TO FEEL DIZZY, SO I FELL ON THE SACK TRYING TO COME TO MYSELF. FOR OVER AN HOUR I WAS LYING WITH MILD REDUCTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND SHIVERS RANNING THROUGH, WONDERING, AT THE MOMENTS OF MY SELF WHETHER, ONE WOULD NEED A DOCTOR-QUACK. (more…)
.
FINALLY WELL-RESTED, WE WERE ABLE TO THINK ABOUT SEEING IN THIS CITY TWO, BEING THE MOST INTERESTED FOR US SOURCES OF THE CULTURE.
THE MOST IMPORTANT TO SEE ARE THE LARCO MUSEUM AND THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. (more…)
